these drones out of the hands of cia agents and just put them in the hands of homeland security and the pentagon do you think that that would be an effective problem solver or would it just create more or less transparency i guess. people overestimate the degree to which deity is more transparent than cia there's actually some forms of accountability written in for cia that don't exist for d.o.d. that said the o.d.s. job is to go out and kill people like that like it or not but that is their job where cia and one of the most troubling things about this white paper that was released last week is it was written to a large extent for the cia and the cia is supposed to operate by different rules and more importantly the cia is supposed to not break u.s. law and in the case of killing anwar lockett there's actually a lot in the u.s. that prohibits killing american citizens overseas so well i don't think moving it to d.o.d. or restricting restricting it to d.o.d. will fix the oversight problem i do think that it'll fix some of the legal problems inherent with cia doing it now are a little bit earlier
